a very human hero, part 2

Virginian: "Come on, break it up.  It was just a little too much for Miss Jennifer.  She thought you were trying to kill each other."

Trampas: "Well, it was just a little friendly dispute."

Virginian:  . . . "Ever since Betsy left we've been letting down on our manners, Boys. . . Just try to act human.   At least for a week or two till she gets used to us."

Trampas: "All right, all right.  Don't worry about a thing."

Midge Conway:   "Well, Old Horse, you changed jobs after all. . . . You chose sides. . . . Trampas!  If you go back there you can cause me an awful lot of misery.  If I kill you I can walk all over the rest of them.  I'm sorry it had to end this way for us. . .  Like I always say, each man has his own way to go."

Judy King:   "I'm fond of you, Trampas.  Maybe I'm in love with you a little.   But it can't go any further than that."

Trampas: "Is that why you stopped seeing me?   Because you thought we were falling in love?"

Judy King:  "Yes, I guess so."

Trampas:   "I gave her the gun."

Eric Larsen:  "You did what you felt you had to do.  Gina did what she had to do.  So did I. . . I only live in hopes that some day it will all end--the killing."

Trampas:  "So do I, Sir.  So do I."

Manuel:   "If they ever see you again, they'll kill you."

Trampas:  "I know that.  I must be out of my mind."

Manuel:  "But if you get us there, you'll be well paid."

Trampas:  "Manuel, will you be quiet.  You wanna sit here gabbin' or you want to get on the way to Laramie?"

Manuel: "You're going to take us to Laramie?"

Trampas:   "I'll admit your diaper looks better than mine.  Thought you said you didn't know anything about babies."

Melinda:  "Oh, there's just some things that anybody knows--except those that are just plain stupid."

Trampas:  "I'm not stupid.  I'm ignorant.  There's a difference."

Liliota:  "Stay away from her!  Only I ride her!"

Trampas:  "I wasn't going to hurt her, I just wanted to see what she was like."

Elizabeth Grainger:   "Trampas, how could you let a thing like that happen to Bob?  Everything was going so well."

(talking with a girl who has amnesia)

Trampas:     "Not only are you the prettiest girl on the floor, you're the best dancer.  April, where have you been all my life?"

"April":  "Good question."

John Grainger:   "Well, if it will make you feel any better, I'll keep an eye out for Trampas."

Virginian:   "Thanks, I'd appreciate that."

John Grainger: "Look. You said it to me--'any place, any time, Trampas can take care of himself'."

Luke Nichols:   "A lot can happen in six days.  You got friends outside?  I mean real friends, not just poker playing and howdy-do friends."

Trampas:  "No, They're real friends."
